747: At Usenix 1998 there was a strong OpenBSD presence both in the Freenix
748: and normal tracks. Theo did a general talk about what the OpenBSD
749: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
750: OpenBSD topic since IPSEC development at that time was so much further
751: ahead in OpenBSD than anywhere else).
752: <br>
753: The terminal room PCs ran OpenBSD 2.3. We sold many CDROMs. The
754: first style of OpenBSD t-shirt also sold quite well.
